Touch of the colonial in Bantry

THERE’S a touch of the colonial bungalow about this west Cork home, and it wasn’t licked off the stones.

Set on 1.7 acres in Ballylickey, west of Bantry and with sea views, it is being sold by a couple who’ve lived in Africa.

Even from a cursory glance at the external pics, there’s a hint of the African or even Indian veranda about its side terrace and railings, though one look at the views towards Sugarloaf Mountains and Hungry Hill, and you are more regionally focused.
